2. ““Since we have reached the conclusion that the instrument in question, being in actual fact a disguised donation, reserved unto donor a usufruct over the immovable property donated therein, which reservation is prohibited by the express provisions of the above quoted article of the Code, then what is the effect of such reservation on the entire act? “The jurisprudence of this state is well settled to the effect that such.reservation of usufruct to a donor of immovable property renden the entire instrument radically null and of no force and effect. [Numerous cases are here cited.] “Therefore, under the well settled jurisprudence, the instrument attacked in this case is radically null and of no force and effect.” See also Succession of Yeates, 213 La. 541 , 35 So.2d 210 and Almond v. Adams, 221 La. 234 , 59 So.2d 132 .”
